Abstract: An exemplary elevator passenger interface device includes a touch screen configured to allow a passenger to indicate a request for elevator service by touching the screen. An assistance button is positioned near the touch screen. A controller is configured to determine a destination requested by a passenger touching the screen. The controller is also configured to determine whether the assistance button has been manipulated and then to determine a destination requested by a passenger from a subsequent manipulation of the assistance button.

Abstract: An exemplary method of controlling an elevator system includes determining that a temporary heavy traffic condition exists that includes a plurality of passengers requiring elevator service from an originating floor in the building that is distinct from a lobby floor. At least one elevator car out of a plurality of elevator cars within the building is temporarily dedicated to carry the passengers from the originating floor. A peak travel scheduling strategy is temporarily used for controlling the dedicated elevator car or cars for a selected period of time.

Abstract: An elevator system including a car call registration device by which an elevator user registers a car call before riding on a car and a group supervisory controller with a building specification data storage section in which building specification data including specially-assigned floors is stored. Further, a specially-assigned floor judgment section judges whether a departure floor is a specially-assigned floor when a car call is registered, and a traffic condition judgment section judges the traffic condition of elevators within a building. A car assignment is performed based on the traffic condition judgment section judging by the specially-assigned floor judgment section that the departure floor is a specially-assigned floor, and a car assignment is performed based on a building specification stored in the building specification data storage section when the specially-assigned floor judgment section judges the departure floor is not a specially-assigned floor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an elevator installation with at least one shaft and a number of cars, it being possible to make at least two cars travel separately up and down along a common traveling path and a passenger being able to enter a destination call by means of an input unit disposed outside the shaft and the destination call being allocated to a car in dependence on an allocation assessment. To develop the method in such a way that the transporting capacity can be increased, with the cars which can be made to travel along a common traveling path hindering one another as little as possible, it is proposed according to the invention that, in the case of allocation of the destination call to one of the cars which can be made to travel along the common traveling path, the portion of the traveling path required for serving the destination call is assigned to this car and blocked for the time of the assignment for the other cars. Furthermore, an elevator installation for carrying out the method is proposed.

Abstract: An controlling apparatus for a double deck elevator is disclosed. An allocation control unit (5), when a predetermined specified floor is registered in an elevator hall call registering unit (4) in a double operation mode, makes both of upper and lower cages of each double deck elevator respond thereto. Each cage call registering unit (9) is capable of registering a cage call to both of the upper and lower cages in the double operation mode as far as the specified floor is concerned. An operation control unit (8) in each elevator controls operations of the upper and lower cages to respond to the elevator hall call to the specified floor which is allocated by the allocation control unit (5) and to a cage call to the specified floor which is registered in the cage call registering unit (9).

Abstract: An automated arrangement selects one of a plurality of load weight bypass thresholds for an elevator car. The selection depends, for example, upon the car direction and the time of day. Alternative embodiments of the arrangement utilize in the selection either actual or estimated elevator car floor space. Fuzzy logic is used to estimate available floor space.

Abstract: Elevator control software uses a signal from a passenger weight sensor and observed weight fuzzy logic sets to provide a fuzzy logic set indicative of the number of passengers in an elevator car. Optionally, the fuzzy set is defuzzified to produce a single crisp value indicative of the number of car passengers. Also, a table having indices corresponding to passenger weights and entries corresponding to the number of passengers in an elevator can be constructed using the plurality of observed weight fuzzy sets.

Abstract: An uncertainty filter is provided with input data which is indicative of a fuzzy logic set having basis elements corresponding to elevator cars of an elevator system having degrees of membership associated therewith corresponding to the utility (suitability) of assigning the associated car to service a hall call. The uncertainty filter chooses a car corresponding to the term from the set having the highest degree of membership. The choice can be delayed until; a predetermined amount of time has passed; the degree of membership exceeds a predetermined amount; or the degree of certainty (the degree of membership of the chosen car over the sum of degrees of membership of the other cars) is more than a predetermined amount; or until either the degree of membership or the degree of certainty meets a value which varies as a function of time from when a hall call was registered.
